Northfield F5 Big Mon Limited Edition

$6,195.00

Fifteen years ago, Northfield introduced the ‘Big Mon’, a mandolin that pushed the boundaries of tone, power, and presence. Now, as we approach its 15th anniversary, they’re unveiling a new F5 version-one part new, three parts tried and true. True-because this model is a refinement of everything we’ve learned since the Big Mon’s debut. Tried-because we’ve spent years honing our craft, selecting materials, and developing details that make this instrument a future heirloom.
